My First Clay Project

This is my first try with air dry clay. First i made Clay(white) balls and then make each ball flat on my palm by pressing the ball in the center and then pulling it outwards, left and right, and then assemble them (i forgot to take those pictures :( sorry , next time i will ) and made a rose and let it completely dry overnight and then in the morning i colored it with an acrylic red paint and VIOLA ! I know it's not perfect but still it came out good after all it's my first try :)

My Story:

I was living a normal life until 2008 when I started feeling sick, loss of appetite,, palpitation etc but thought it's because of low hb. Time was passing by and I was getting weaker and weaker and then a day came when I had to go to hospital because I wasn't able to walk and then I was diagnosed with Blood Cancer. Yes! this thing was present in my body.... It freaked me out!? No ! First I didn't believe it, I was praying whole heartedly that doc will just come and say sorry that was a wrong report but it was right but the time in between my biopsy and the day I got to know I prepared myself for it as Life comes with challenges and Allah surely tests those whom He loves the most so I guess I'm the lucky one HE chose me and my family.

I put my whole Faith in Him and remained positive because I had to support my family and that was the only way I had and I'm very proud of myself that I did it Alhamdulillah, with His Almighty's help.

I went through chemos, transfusions bla bla bla and finally bone marrow transplant. I won’t lie it was a wonderful experience, don't be surprised , I met new friends wonderful ppl my Doctors, Nurses, Housekeepers... They all became my friends and they still are, we just have to use our will power and have complete Faith in GOD, but yes transplant experience was not so pleasant but I thank Allah that at least I'm better than many other ppl who are going through difficult times in their lives, can't thank Him enough!

I started recovering slowly and slowly and in a matter of months I was doing house chores and I was so happy about my life b'coz it was getting normal like before but then in 2011 I started feeling unusual things and later I got to know that it's my disease again, it knocked at my door Knock Knock! Nemo it's me again and I cried like anything but then I gathered myself up and I talked to it as I remembered I used to talk to my tiny winy naughty cells. And you know what I said?! Ok baby let's do it this is my soul's home no room for you Sorry! I had three things in my mind Faith in Allah, Patience and Will Power and then there started a war" Nemo vs Can " sometimes it knocked me down and sometimes I knocked it down and then finally I beat it again and came out Alive!! yyeeeyyy celebrations Alhamdulillah !

This time Naeema came out with new hopes and new goals. I'm very happy with my life now although I went through all this but I guess this experience taught me so much about life, I got to know about so many things and especially ppl around me now I can differentiate between who are sincere and real and who are just phonies (sorry folks!), who actually my friends are and who are not and this is not only me even my family knows ppl better than before as someone once said " In a tough time u get to know/see the real face of a person."

Now you know my story so u can tell I can't go outside and meet or greet ppl as normal ppl do and to be very honest I also don't like it as I'm a very outgoing person but it's for my health so I have to take a very good care of Whole Me as life is precious

This experience has brought me here that I never thought I would ever be able to do this, Arts and Crafts were my childhood hobby, I used to play with colors markers, pens, paper... these were my things but it was lost somewhere. I got busy in studies and then job but this free time which was given to me by Fate made me realized that this is it! This is me! This is what I want to do and I'm very thankful to my Whole family who supported me through this whole rough and tough time and they are still supporting me on this new venture of mine. We all together surely make a one insane family! Love you all. I wish everyone in this world have a family like mine.

I hope I didn't make u cry. Yes, YOU! the one who is reading okay okay too much senti now jus cheer up and Smile It makes heart melt like a butter (isn't it a bit filmy line lol) yeah yeah I know in some cases it doesn't work anyways I hope you'll like my work, my Piece of Art as i say to everything, I create/ make or whatever, whether it's by my hand or by my camera

Enjoy my Blog and pray that i post something now a then as I'm very proud to announce that I'm the laziest girl in this universe haha! Ssshh! Not that lazy

I'll end this up with Stacey Charter's Quote

“Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable. Have the patience, wait it out It's all about timing.”

Naeema.
